Demonstrating Urban Sustainability at a Neighborhood Scale

Two green lodgings, a real estate office, a renewable energy company, and two non-profits conduct life and business on this ½-block space 12 months of the year within a shared vision of sustainable economy. 10 other local businesses will be on-site for the Tour, teaching and doing hands-on demonstrations including flagstone patio and rain garden installation, lead-safe paint renovation (exterior), evacuated tube solar hot water, and many other eco-friendly building practices.
